Do you know what would be the coolest thing ever? If there was a BuddyPress and bbPress hosted solution similar to WordPress.com. I would absolutely love that. That is all .

Missing the point of Instagram

Nick Hamze — Mon, 28 May 2012 17:28:07 +0000

Today I realized something, I’m kinda missing the whole point of Instagram. I use it occasionally but just as a way to easily share a photo on Twitter. I never really paid attention to all the social features. Yesterday while trying to take a pic I pushed a wrong button and I realized that not only were there some cool social features but people had actually been using them and were liking and leaving comments on my photos. Now that I know these features are there I will be better about using/checking them but I still wonder how after all this time I never really used them.

I don’t really care for auto-generated privacy polices and TOSs but I do think that the format is interesting.

This is pretty neat, Tumblr has their TOS on Github so you can see all the past revisions.

Why WordPress.com

Nick Hamze — Wed, 02 May 2012 05:01:22 +0000

People ask me from time to time why should they choose WordPress (or more specifically WordPress.com) and I ramble on why I love WordPress which is usually not very helpful as I talk really fast and some things that get me really excited (like contextual help menus ) aren’t very interesting to most people.

I wish there was a mini-site dedicated to answering one question, Why WordPress.com? It would be cool to have something like the new Basecamp site. I really like how they segment their potential users and let them know exactly why they should choose Basecamp.

Anyway, I think it would be cool to answer the question Why WordPress? on why.wordpress.com and I decided to write a post saying so as it was more sane than debating the merits of the idea with my imaginary friend.
